Barb Berger updated us on the Barn Session Oct. 31st for the Boy Scouts. She has one mentor per student for the event. John checked with AAW and the age requirement for classes is 10 years old. There was a discussion on liability.

The club still has another $20 gift certificate for Packard Woodworking – it expires 5/16. Looking for suggestions – maybe auction prize or use instead of Rockler certificate at meeting.

AAW has a youth program – can be attained on line AAW has a youth membership.

John opened the floor for the nomination of officers. Barb nominated the slate of officers to continue for next year. It was seconded by Brian. We will vote next month. There will be an opportunity for more nominations next meeting.

Northwoods- John Lilley bought a box of wood( just the cost of shipping) Craig made a motion that we reimburse John for the shipping cost and that the wood be used for the fair. It was seconded by Rusty and approved.

DEMONSTRATION

Tonight’s demo was provided by Dean Cole.Dean explained how tools should fit your hand and the differences in tool rests and how to set them up properly. He then demonstrated inside out turning. It was amazing how different the finished product looked! He kept us guessing all night. Everyone went away with a new appreciation for the artistic side of wood turning!

Remember we NEED VOLUNTEERS to demonstrate!

Respectfully Submitted,

Kathie Eckert
